For me it is. I feel the friction and how it disrupts the parallel flow of multiple lines of thought on the code, cause you have to stop and implement a stupid method. Also have seen this many times in less experienced or less patient programmers, who inlined lots of code that should have been a library and cut corners in there due to time, mental and other pressures. Providing them a set of tools they could paste (poor platform) into a globally loaded module improved their jobs a lot.

I think the high horse here is a bad point cause it simply claims it must be hard for no good reason. It’s not even complexity-wise hard, you just have to (metaphotically) unpack your instruments every time you use them. That’s bs at all experience levels and it must be obvious to anyone who works in a shop. Ime, the problem isn’t knowledge, but inconvenience.
